Mark Vader Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Better late than never. 2020 is here and so is the period in time where movies release their less than desirable fare. Once known as the Garbage Season of movies, the month of January & February have been changing that feeling as box office receipts have gotten a lot better than in year's past. Here's what we have to look backwards to. Robert Downey Jr. is "Doolittle". A vivid re-imagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals.

Also starring Hugh Grant, Kate Beckinsale & Colin Farrell. In "The Last Full Measure", The true story of Vietnam War hero William H. Pitsenbarger, a U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen (also known as a PJ) medic who personally saved over sixty men. Starring Jeremy Irvine, William Hurt, Ed Harris, Samuel L. Jackson, Sebastian Stan, Peter Fonda & Christopher Plummer. In "Like A Boss", Two hard-charging best friends build a juggernaut company and find their relationship tested when they are made a big buyout offer. Starring Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne & Salma Hayek. Blake Lively stars in "The Rhythm Section". Stephanie Patrick, an ordinary woman on a path of self-destruction after her family is tragically killed in a plane crash. When Stephanie discovers that the crash was not an accident, she enters a dark, complex world to seek revenge on those responsible and find her own redemption. Also starring Jude Law & Sterling K. Brown. "Just Mercy", follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson and his history-making battle for justice. Starring Michael B. Jordan, Brie Larson, Jamie Foxx & Tim Blake Nelson. In "The Grudge", A single mother and young detective, Muldoon, discovers that a suburban house is cursed by a vengeful ghost that dooms those who enter it with a violent death. Starring Andrea Riseborough, Demian Bichir, John Cho, Lin Shaye & Jacki Weaver. In "The Turning", Set in a mysterious estate where newly appointed nanny Kate is charged with the care of two disturbed orphans, Flora and Miles.

KD in CA Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Thanks MV. I was just thinking it had been a while since I’d seen your outstanding monthly movie thread. Sadly, I’m still going through the list of 2019 movies I’ve yet to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Saw The Gentlemen tonight. I like Guy Ritchie so I’m biased, but very solid. Enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and I understand if your still on 2019. This is why the movies of January are mostly ones you can skip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Really enjoyed The Gentleman. The Toddlers were a nice touch. Watched Parasite the day after and it was great as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Bad Boys for Life shows you how terrible Michael Bay is as a director. BBFL is probably the best all-around film in the trilogy of these movies, likely because he wasn't directing it. The Rhythm Section would have been an interesting film if it were made several years ago. However, it's really just a female version of American Assassin, and all the cliffhangers in the movie were done before in Bourne movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I await the day when Transformers will be re-made by someone who will approach it the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
